Extremely low water was consistent throughout the year in 2022. This limited the access for certain types of watercraft but not for our drift boat! We had a few bumps and scrapes on shallow riffles on one of the floats but otherwise fishing success was excellent! I have a float that is free of shallow riffles, provides good numbers of bass during low water years and that was a dependable float for 2022.

The St Croix has been open for over a week now and we had some decent fishing early. We are waiting for the river to drop into shape this week, possibly by the middle of the week.
